The world's #1 conspiracy theorist...

He began his political career by convincing his fellow conspiracists that Barack Obama was not born in this country. He started a campaign to demand his birth certificate. This went on and on. And when Obama finally put forth his birth certificate, he continued to say it was "fake". He lied about sending a team of investigators to Hawaii to prove his birth certificate was "fake". He would never admit he was wrong.

Since those times, he has continued his conspiracy journey. In the process, he developed a cult following that believed every word he said, when nothing he said was true. He was the biggest con to ever appear on the political stage. Joseph McCarthy was a piker compared to this deceiver.

He conspired and lied his way all the way to the White House. But there was a price to pay for his con jobs, his lies, and his conspiracy theories. America paid the price. We lost whatever trust we had with our allies. We lost whatever good America had to share. For the sake of power, we lost everything.

There is no need to lie for him or his Party anymore. The narrative must be told. America has fallen into a pit of greed and deceit. It is time to face the truth. This person must be dislodged from the consciousness of our country so that we can heal and try to rebuild.

They'll probably be reporting back in two weeks, "and you won't believe what they found".

Hopefully, America will be able to rebuild after he's gone, though some days I'm afraid Trump will be with us forever.

Unfortunately, he will not be dislodged from our consciousness - it's a permanent stain.

If any of us >60 DUers live to see healing &/or rebuilding, I'll be shocked. He's broken the nation.
